Last chance to see Jura dinosaur prints
The “Jura” bit of the word “Jurassic,” as in Jurassic Park of movie megafame, is rooted in the Swiss canton of the same name. This weekend, in the town of Courtedoux, this will be the last chance to see some supremely impressive dinosaur tracks before they’re buried under bitumen. Crews start laying pavement for the new A16 motorway on Monday. Guided tours can be had both weekend days from 10 am through 7 pm. Susan Flory talks to Celine Fuchs, project manager of the dinosaur site Paleojura near the town of Courtedoux.

why dont they pick a section and put a glass cover over them that way they wont be lost and forgotten or is that the idea, I visited Athens last summer and they did just this when they built the new metro system.
